As this photo shows in some detail. The barrel that this gun now wears is slightly past the witness mark on the receiver... so this barrel was either removed and then re-installed and the gunsmith turned the wrench too far, or the barrel is a replacement from another gun. The extractor notch is also off the same amount as the witness mark...
the chamber area is not uniform in its polishing... it appears to have been ground off... and the bevels normally on the sides of the toggle are almost non-existent which implies that the toggle was ground down...
